The U.K.-based subsidiary of Elbit Systems has secured a potential 13-year, $100 million contract from Babcock International Group to provide the U.K. naval force with electronic warfare capabilities.
Elbit Systems UK will design, produce and deliver EW command and control systems, radar electronic support measures and other maritime EW platforms and provide in-service support to the Royal Navy as part of increment 1 of the Maritime Electronic Warfare System Integrated Capability program, the company said Tuesday.
The maritime EW systems will enable the Royal Navy to improve its frontline systems’ anti-ship missile defense and situational awareness.
Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK, said the company will work with local partners to build and deliver technologies, create jobs and advance freedom of action and operational sovereignty.
